Oasis

Fertile spot on timeless sands,
Life on parched lands,
The existent surrounded by the non-existent,
The living in the shrivelled.

Jewel in the gloom,
Hope in despondency room,
The thirsty is replenished at its shore,
A memorial of nature’s benevolence.

The trees are rejuvenated from its tranquil chamber,
There’s hope after the night’s slumber, 
Treasure in the arid,
Water finds a way to us.
